Lunch at pierre

Very stressful at work and too lazy to update my blog although there's a backlog of pictures yet to be posted. I can totally see this year as the "fan tai shui" year for me, seems like all the share price movement has gone in an opposite direction of what I have predicted...all the vote changes have not been working accordingly, i feel obnoxious looking at the px movement on my bloomberg screen. i am not happy with what i have done for the past 3 months, even though i still rank the 2nd place for the year, the hard work i put in didn't generate much value and i HATE to be wrong. There's really nothing much one can do as a fundamental analyst, just chase after the market and buy the crappy stocks, i am now completely fed up.

It was two weeks ago we dined at pierre again for lunch... everything was great as always, although my dishes were slightly bland comparing to others... what best about being a regular at a fancy restaurant is that you can get all the perks for free. we've got each of the chef created special platter for us and received so many extra items our dining table was not big enough for all the plates.

first of all, phillip's special appetizer platter.. foie gras pate, cavier.. I wonder if this is for the dinner..

amuse buche
appetizer - foie gras ravioli
entree - fillet of code with squid ink gnocchi
nicholas' special dessert platter - chocolate tarts (very tasty with caramlized almond pieces inside), mashmallowy ice-cream
nicholas made a glove sculpture to go with the parfait cubes.. very creative but very creepy.....

for formal dessert we had chocolate souffle
and the 9 conduit - apple and pistachio meringue and sorbet with argula leaves inside, interesting, huh!
oh yeah.. we also had the ice cream cubes which was standard complimentary sweets...
